Introduction to projective assessment with Dr Monique Davis and Dr Patrick Halcrow

Projective techniques are powerful tools to gain the voice of the child and explore aspects of their experience that may not be well understood. When carefully analysed and triangulated with other sources of information, projective techniques can open up conversations with children, families and staff that can facilitate deep understanding of difficulties, and help to create change.

The Course

This course will provide an introduction to techniques and resources that can be easily incorporated into EP work. Attendees will have opportunities for reflective peer supervision and develop their skills in administrating, analysing, feeding back and reporting on projective material.
The course is made up of 7 sessions. The greatest benefit will come from attending the course as a whole, but there are limited tickets available for individual sessions. All sessions will take place on Tuesdays from 6-8pm via Zoom or Microsoft Teams.

Session 1 Learning Objectives:

• To provide an introduction to the historical and theoretical foundations of projective assessment.
• To have an outline of the different types of projective tools.
• To identify how projective tools fit into EP practice.
• To have some ideas about how to include projective tools in your own practice.
